1898 Medical Corps
The study of bacteria and viruses originated after Leeuwenhoek invented the microscope in 1683, and since then, mankind has finally understood the microscopic biological world, and the invisible field can finally be seen with the naked eye. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After more than 200 years of accumulation, Europe has now formed a very complete bacteriological theory, and has also conducted in-depth research on some epidemic diseases, and there are signs of a breakthrough in the faint bacteriology.
The doctors in the mountains did not feel this kind of breakthrough, but Xiao Letian knew very well that the final breakthrough in in-depth research in bacteriology was the birth of antibiotics.
Penicillin can be said to be an epoch-making study in the history of human medicine, although it is only an accidental discovery, but there is also necessity in chance.
In 1921, Fleming discovered a strange cyan mold in a bacterial petri dish that he had inadvertently missed, and this mold had the ability to devour other harmful bacteria.
Therefore, penicillin was not invented, but was discovered only by chance because it has existed on the earth for a long time.
Of course, this discovery is also based on more than 200 years of experience in bacteriological and microbiological research...... All kinds of groundwork have been laid solidly, and Lady Luck will pick out such a lucky person in this industry to promote the development of history.
Since it was discovered, not invented, this gave Xiao Letian a loophole, isn't it just a struggle for manpower and time to fight for experience? and it is not a high-tech thing, why can't we Chinese be the first to discover penicillin?
With this belief, Xiao Lotian began to secretly fund Dr. Huang and Dr. Barker, and the annual funding for pathological research was no less than three or four hundred thousand silver dollars.
Don't think that three or four hundred thousand silver dollars are very little, compared to military research, three or four hundred thousand is indeed not a lot of money, but compared with his fellow doctors in Europe, Buck is already suffocating with happiness.
Even if a medical university in the UK can get 10,000 pounds or 20,000 pounds of research funding every year, it is already a lot, and a good boss like Xiao Letian cannot be found in the world.
On a lonely island in the Pacific Ocean, where there are more than 200 medical staff cultivating bacteria, looking for the mysterious elf that can kill harmful bacteria through the theory of mutual restraint.
This is the top secret within the Chinese family, and among the four heavenly kings, except for Wang Huaiyuan, the director of the CIA, who knows some clues, the other three heavenly kings do not know that this kind of research exists at all.
Doctor Buck and Doctor Huang have faintly felt a little bit of the vein, although Xiao Lotian did not give them a clear promotion, but Xiao Lotian at least pointed out a general direction for scientific researchers.
The use of beneficial bacteria to destroy harmful bacteria, so as to restore the body to health, is not this what the ancient Chinese said, 'razing to conquer raze'?
In fact, scientific research is sometimes not so complicated, the most difficult thing is to find the direction that is, to put forward a theory, as long as there is a correct theory, then the scientific research workers can follow the theory countless experiments, after countless failures to accumulate experience and break out of the big breakthrough of the science and technology tree.
It must have been the existing theory of aerodynamics that only then did the aircraft appear.
The existing theory of electricity must be born, and then there will be direct current and alternating current applications.
Even the construction of battleships is the same, without the design concept of the 'dreadnought' of the previous life brought by Xiao Letian, there would be no legendary battleship of the Prussian shipyard.
Xiao Letian pointed out a correct path, and Dr. Buck and Dr. Huang Xie Doctor went forward without hesitation, as long as they were willing to invest money and refinement?

?? , I believe that a breakthrough is a matter of time.
Why did Doctor Huang and Buck have to go ashore, needless to say, Xiao Letian also knew very well, can those who study bacteriology not study the plague? This is originally their specialty, and at this moment, a very rare opportunity is placed in front of them, how can the two of them not be excited.
"Please, Führer, we are doctors and cannot remain indifferent to the presence of patients...... Now the canal waterway has not been emptied, and there is still a certain amount of time for us to set off, so let's save one and count one!"
Listening to Dr. Barker's pleading, Xiao Lotian sighed and turned his head and asked, "Ask the canal administrators, when will our fleet depart?"
The flag bearer quickly sent the flag to the pilotship, and in a short time the pilot ship sent back the signal.
"Report to the Führer, the canal is now having more than forty merchant ships passing through the waterway from south to north, which is the number of ships in the period from the Great Bitter Lake to the port of Suez...... It will take at least 7 hours, and once all these boats have passed, it will take us 2 hours to reorganize and enter......"
"If the medical team goes ashore, it will have about nine hours of work!"
"That's enough! That's enough...... "Nine hours is enough for us to find the source of this plague, and then we can leave some prescriptions for the locals, and we don't have to participate in direct treatment!"
Having said that, what else could Xiao Lotian do for this sake, he could only nod and send Ma Hui and Luo Monkey to bring a company of soldiers ashore to protect.
Before leaving, Wang Huaiyuan told him to "be patient, don't have conflicts with the French, let alone the locals...... Evacuate with the doctors as soon as possible, remember to remember!"
"Yes, sir, resolutely complete the mission......"
One sampan after another was untied by the soldiers, and the so-called army of the Chinese people was actually marines, and they were also very familiar with the business of fighting on ships.
The sampans, held in place by twelve cables, were untied in the hands of the soldiers and thrown into the sea, all at high speed and in good order.
It only takes forty seconds to launch a sampan, which is as efficient as a group of people performing acrobatics, and even the British sailors are watched.
"Oh God, how did these Chinese train, a group of people actually move in unison like one person, and cooperate so skillfully! How many times does this have to be trained......
The rope ladder was thrown down, and the doctors in white coats and white hats and masks began to pedal onto the dinghy with various boxes on their backs, and soon in the middle of the many warships in the sea, this group of fourteen sampans began to pass through in an orderly manner.
The Zhiyuan officially issued a flag to the wharf: "The Chinese have sent a medical team to prepare to go ashore to help you investigate the plague and assist in treatment, and ask the relevant departments to cooperate...... Please cooperate!"
As soon as the flag came out, there was a commotion on the sea, and the British warships and countless European merchant ships were talking one after another: "God, are these Chinese crazy? They actually venture into a plague-ridden city? Are they looking for death!"
